Overview of Refractive Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive laser eye surgery, is a procedure where a laser is used to correct vision problems. In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in this field. After refractive laser eye surgery, many patients report seeing better than they have ever seen before.
All refractive laser eye surgeries work by reshaping the cornea, or the clear front part of the eye, so that light traveling through it is properly focused onto the retina located in the back of the eye. There are a few different types of refractive laser eye surgeries including:
LASIK- Short for laser in-situ keratomileusis, this laser eye surgery is used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, and/or have astigmatism. During LASIK laser eye surgery, vision is corrected by using an excimer laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue so that it can properly focus light onto the retina. Excimer stands for excited dimmer because this laser uses a mixture of two gases to produce the laser light. LASIK laser eye surgery differs from others in that a flap is made in the outer layer of the cornea so that the underlying tissue can be accessed.
PRK- Short for photorefractive keratectomy, this laser eye surgery is used to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. During PRK laser eye surgery, an eye surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea. This excimer laser, which delivers a cool pulsing beam of ultraviolet light, is used on the surface of the cornea, rather than beneath a flap of corneal tissue as is done is LASIK.
